Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Debuts in G League
Jackson (foot) played 27 minutes Wednesday in the G League Memphis Hustle's 132-128 overtime loss to the Rip City Remix, finishing with 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block.
Jackson took the court for the first time during the 2024-25 campaign, after he had been sidelined for nearly three months to begin the season while completing his recovery from the surgery he underwent Sept. 4 to repair his fractured foot. Though he saw a fairly sizable minutes load in his first game action since the Las Vegas Summer League, Jackson could stick around in the G League to make a few more appearances before rejoining the Grizzlies. The second-year forward averaged 14.6 points in 25.7 minutes per game over his 48 appearances for the Grizzlies as a rookie, but with the team in much better health this season compared to last, Jackson may be in store for only a minor role in the rotation once he rejoins the parent club.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Double-doubles in win
Aldama contributed 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.
Aldama got back in the swing of things, recording his first double-double in almost a month. After a red-hot start to the season, Aldama's role has reduced over the past few weeks. With that said, he remains a key piece of their second unit and can slide seamlessly into the starting five, should the opportunity arise. Over the past moth, Aldama has averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.5 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Scores 11 points in return
Huff ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.
Huff returned from a one-game absence, adding depth to the center rotation in Memphis. The team is currently running with Huff, Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke, limiting the opportunities for all three. Whatever they are doing seems to be working, meaning Huff is unlikely to move into a sizeable role, at least not with the team's current mindset.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Flirts with double-double in win
Kennard recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.
Kennard continues to play well off the bench, having now scored double-digits in seven of the past eight games. Injuries to other players provided Kennard with an opportunity to step into a larger role, something he has capitalized on in recent weeks. In fact, over the past two weeks, he is averaging 10.8 points, 2.6 three-pointers and 4.2 assists in 23,8 minutes per game. The Grizzlies have one of the deepest rotations in the league, with Kennard currently at the forefront of the second unit.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Upgraded to available
Huff (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Huff is good to go despite managing a knee injury, though it's not certain he'll take the court against San Antonio after sitting out Monday's loss to Houston as a coach's decision. The 26-year-old big man is averaging 7.6 points, 0.7 blocks and 1.6 threes while shooting 44.0 percent from three-point range over his last seven appearances.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Will play rehab game in G League
The Grizzlies assigned Jackson (foot) to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Tuesday.
Jackson has yet to play this season while recovering from right foot surgery, but head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that the second-year forward has reached the reconditioning phase of his rehab. According to Jon Roser of the Grizzlies Radio Network, Jackson is scheduled to play for the Hustle in Wednesday's game against the Rip City Remix, though he could be operating under a minute restriction. Jackson will likely appear in multiple games for the Hustle before rejoining the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Probable for Wednesday
Huff (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs.
Huff is dealing with left knee soreness, though he is expected to suit up Wednesday. The big man was held out of Monday's loss to the Rockets due to coach's decision. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest. Huff will likely continue to receive little playing time unless injuries arise at the center position.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Provides boost off bench Monday
LaRavia posted 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets.
LaRavia provided a boost off Memphis' bench with an efficient 12 points and seven boards, also picking up two steals Monday. The 23-year-old forward is now averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 threes in 21.4 minutes through his last six outings. With the Grizzlies' frontcourt healthy at the moment, LaRavia should remain stuck in a clear reserve role going forward, thus reducing his fantasy upside.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Strong defensive showing Monday
Jackson recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.
The 25-year-old forward failed to score more than 20 points for the first time in January and tied his season low in rebounds, but Jackson still contributed with his defense. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 26.2 points, 7.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.7 threes.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Hits for 25 in Monday's loss
Bane chipped in 25 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.
The fifth-year guard continues to make an impact at both ends of the court. Over his last 12 appearances, Bane has drained multiple three-pointers 11 times and recorded multiple steals eight times, averaging 21.3 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 43.6 percent from long range.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Drops 29 on Rockets
Morant finished with a team-high 29 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.
It was his best scoring effort since Dec. 7, when Morant erupted for 32 and nearly recorded a triple-double in Boston, while Monday's four steals were a new season high. In three games since returning from a shoulder issue, Morant has had two strong performances and one mediocre one, averaging 22.7 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 threes while shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 25.0 percent (5-for-20) from beyond the arc as he tries to regain his shooting stroke.

Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Scores 14 points in loss
Wells closed Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets with 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two steals across 30 minutes.
Wells continues to trend in the right direction for the shorthanded Grizzlies. Through six January outings, the rookie guard is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. He'll likely remain on the streaming radar until the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back in the rotation.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Underwhelms in tight loss Monday
Edey posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.
Edey's minutes have declined over the past two weeks while Memphis has regained nearly full health. Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Lacks clear return timeline
Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Williams (ankle) is progressing well and is expected to be cleared for full-court basketball activities later this week but remains without a clear timeline for returning to game action, Rob Fischer of FanDuel Sports Network Southeast reports.
Williams has been out since Nov. 19 with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain. After he was re-evaluated four weeks later, the Grizzlies then announced that Williams would likely need 3-to-6 weeks to ramp up and make his return to game action. Williams has now reached the three-week mark since being re-evaluated, and based on the update provided by Jenkins, the third-year forward may be trending closer to the six-week mark for his return. The Grizzlies will see how he responds to full-court work this week before potentially clearing him for full-contact, 5-on-5 practices at some point in the second half of January.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: In reconditioning phase of rehab
Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Jackson has "pretty much checked off everything" in his recovery from the surgery he underwent in September to address a right foot fracture and will merely need to get reconditioned before making his season debut, Rob Fischer of FanDuel Sports Network Southeast reports.
Jenkins suggested that the 20-year-old forward's initial exposure to games may come with the G League's Memphis Hustle rather than the parent club, but Jackson will presumably need to put in at least a few more practices before getting the green light for competitive action. As a rookie second-round pick last season, Jackson showed a knack for scoring with an average of 14.6 points and 2.1 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes per game over his 48 appearances, but he benefited greatly from the Grizzlies being decimated by injuries. Memphis currently has two other key players (Marcus Smart and Vince Williams) out with injuries but has still enjoyed better health overall in 2024-25 compared to last season, so Jackson might have to settle for a small role in the rotation once he's up to full speed and cleared to suit up for the parent club.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Good to go Monday
Huff (knee) is available for Monday's game against Houston.
Huff will suit up after having been deemed probable for Monday's contest due to left knee soreness. The big man has seen inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Available Monday
Morant (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets.
Morant was tagged as questionable leading up to tipoff due to an illness, but it won't keep him from Monday's action. He's averaging 20.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists over his last five appearances.
